Appearance: Malthus appears to be a perfectly innocent 18 year old. His bright green eyes shimmer with deep intelligence. He has the deepest black hair, midlength and messy, and wears simple clothes. His clothes are loose-fitting jeans and a plain white long-sleeved t-shirt, both of them loose enough to allow him quick and fluid movements. His mouth is almost always in a smile, though there's a strange sense of sincerity surrounding him when he smiles. All over his clothes are small slits that are like pockets bound with leather, with knives inside them.
Personality:•General Persona: Malthus is rather intelligence. He's no innocent fool to fall for traps easily. He warms up to friends easily. He uses his cleverness to devastating effect in battle. He tends to taunt when fighting as well, typically infuriating his opponents. All in all, he's a kind guy, and loves his friends, but will fly into a rage if he thinks you're a bully who cares for no one. Finally, he is prone to soaking in the beauty of nature.
•Inner Thought Process: Malthus seeks power, and will sacrifice almost everything but other people to get it. And yet, he'll sacrifice all his power to try and save those he cares about if he has to. When he cares about people, it runs so deep he could hardly stop caring about them if he wanted to. He utterly loathes the fact that he used to rely only on himself, never on others, and will do as much as he can to prevent that from happening again. He loves the wilderness, and lives on his own, never living in a house.
•Fears: Malthus is afraid of finding himself alone again.
•Pleasures: Malthus enjoys tricking people, as well as the thrill of battle. Simple enough. He also enjoys, though he doesn't show it, fine wine and gourmet foods.
•Quirks: Malthus refuses to sleep in a house if he can help it.But With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

Weapons:
Primary Weapon Name: Burning Horizon
Primary Weapon Type: Bladed
Primary Weapon Description: This Keyblade has the rays of the setting sun form the teeth of the key, 3 jutting outwards. The actual sun itself seems to be setting on the very top of the Keyblade, on top of the auburn clocktower forming the remainder of the blade. What appears to be train tracks form the crossguards of the handle. Handing on the end of a chain on the bottom of the Keyblade is a half-sun half-moon charm.

Secondary Weapon Description: Two simple, light daggers of a fine metal, sharpened to a keen edge. They are kept at his sides.
Secondary Weapon Name: Throwing Knives

Secondary Weapon Description: 50 slim knives, smaller than the daggers Malthus uses for melee. They have no crossguard and are stored almost everywhere on his body.
Items:
• Highwind
This ship is the most basic one. Holding only 3 people, it is built not for comfort but functionality. Of course, being the cheapest one, this ship is also the one most people buy.

But Your History Decides Your Version of "Responsibility"
[/b][/size][/center][/u]History: Malthus was born in Twilight Town. He didn’t know his original parents; he was dropped off barely two weeks old in an orphanage. He grew up with several other kids that were a few years older than him. Several of these kids were bullies, and he was a prime target of pranks. The bullying gradually grew more serious between the years of 4 and 7. From the original bullying, merely taking away his toys and then giving them back when the bullies were bored, to the more serious things, like pushes and shoves into hard objects. Finally, one of them got their hands on a Struggle Club and beat him with it at the age of 7.
That particular bully suddenly found himself on the receiving end of several pranks, seemingly from his own friends. Everything pointed to them, and though he sought another culprit, everyone else seemingly was innocent. Eventually, the previously tight-knit group fell apart two years later. It was Malthus’s first taste of revenge, and he enjoyed the feeling of control. He had been the one pulling the pranks, but he’d perfected an innocent manner and kept himself from being suspected.
Soon, Malthus discovered this manner could be used in other ways besides deflecting suspicion. Everyone began turning to him and treating him kindly. This essentially meant he had control over the entire orphanage, and control over others as well. When he wanted extra food, he got it. When he wanted to have something someone else had, he eventually got it. And they gave it willingly! Using this, by the age of 13 Malthus was adopted.
His foster parents were ill, actually; suffering from memory problems. He slyly suggested he take on a job himself to earn munny, and slowly worked his way out of their lives. They’d forgotten about him by the time that he was 15, and he took what he wanted from the house and slipped out. They never missed him or the possessions he’d relieved them of on his way out.
Over the next three years, he taught himself how to fight by watching, and then later fighting participants of, the Struggle Tournaments. He was always underestimated by opponents who’d never seen him before, due to his disarming manner. Now, at the age of 18, he still seeks more control and power, and he’ll do anything, manipulate anyone, to get it.
Or rather, would've done anything to get it. After reconciling his differences with Seifer, the current bully (that happened to have a Struggle Club), and making perhaps one of his first true friends with Eve, though that still isn't sure yet, and lastly after keeping up a persona for so long, he seems to have BECOME the good person he pretended to be, albeit retaining his intelligence.
